Editorial report
Huawei nova 8 5G technical sheet
The Huawei nova 8 5G suits buyers looking for a light phone with a large display and high-resolution camera. Its main trade-offs are a battery with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time and the absence of Google Services, which matters to anyone who relies on them. Its overall NeoScore is 6.3, and it ranks better than most phones launched around the same time.
The 6.57-inch OLED display takes up 89.3% of the front, among the highest screen-to-body ratios of its time. At 169 g, the phone weighs less than most contemporaries, and its 7.6 mm thickness is among the lowest. The 90 Hz refresh rate is typical for phones of the same period rather than a standout.
Its 64 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most phones from the period, and the camera setup is among the best. The f/1.9 aperture, however, is worse than most. Optical image stabilization and 4K video recording are included. Its 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage are higher than those of most phones launched around the same time. It runs Android 10, and storage cannot be expanded.
The 3,800 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 66 W fast charging is among the highest figures for its time. The battery overall is typical. NFC, 5G, and dual SIM round out a phone for buyers who prioritize the screen, cameras, and fast charging and can do without Google Services.
